CE Course Description and Goals

Anger and substance use disorders often co-occur, increasing the risk for negative consequences such as physical aggression, self-harm, distressed relationships, loss of a job, or criminal justice involvement.  This CE course outlines a 12-week cognitive-behavioral anger management group treatment modality that allows professionals who treat clients with mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders to deliver group cognitive-behavioral anger management treatment, illustrating the key conceptual components of the treatment, and between-session challenges for group members.
